Any problems storing it in the SUV after the dog is inside the vehicle?

Actually, I have a Dodge Ram Pickup. And it's not a problem for me to simply place the ramp in the bed of the truck. I could probably store it in the back seat as well - never tried. As for the SUV, I suppose it depends on the size of the vehicle and what ever else you might have inside. It's relatively light weight and has a handle. I would be careful with the ends of the ramp, they could possible scratch or damage the interior. As an added note. It will not fit in my wife's small SUV without crossing over the rear seat/back. But she can lay down the middle seat and it works nicely.

I can't really answer this as this unit turned out to be rather useless. It is fairly narrow despite the name, and I was never able to successfully encourage my dog to use it. It also has sharp edges that scraped my car and my legs. I gave up on it.

We use it in a Toyota Tacoma, it does take up space but you can put stuff on top of it if need be. Should be doable in a full size SUV, could be tricky in a smaller one. Using a ramp is definitely a hassle but in our case a necessity if we want our canine friend to participate.

Are you thinking about putting the tube parallel to the backseat in the back, or perpendicular? The webbing "slots" on the tube run along the horizontal part of the tube, so securing it perpendicular to the back of the SUV may be difficult. Horizontally, you'd have difficulty getting your pet in and out of the tube, as the zippered openings are only on the ends.

I have a light camel leather interior in my Rover. I have experienced no problem at all. Just follow the usage directions and all will be well.

I have an SUV and have no problems at all. It folds up without touching the vehicle.

Yes, you can either leave the cargo cover in or take it out. We leave it in and just press the top flap down to the back of the back seat when our dogs are in the car.

No, your dog's back will be strapped almost completely to the back of the car seat. My dog tried to lay down/move around and there was still some give in the car seat belt; she got herself miserably tangled up.

No, first of all you won't be able to see, and I'm sure the straps won't hold it on during driving time. I use it just while it's being stored,and from the inside getting wet!

Yes, if you adjust the zip line loosely enough. My dog loves being in the back of the SUV and lying on her bed--and then moving up to ride shotgun in the front passenger seat. It took awhile for me to adjust it at the sweet spot where she could do all of that--yet still taut enough that she wouldn't bump her nose on the dash if I made a quick stop. But once there, it's been great. I now have a PupZIP in both cars.

This is a great unit. If the dog fit and will stay in it there shouldn't be a problem. My daughter carried a heavy bookbag in hers at college.

I have left mine in car and have not noticed any problems. Seems to work fine.

I would think that choking or suffocation could be a concern if you zip them up inside the side bags. Also, seeing as there are no safety restraints, leaving the side bags open could be a safety hazard - the cats could jump or fall out. If you dog runs at high speeds, this would be even more dangerous. Might I suggest a side car with seat belts and air bags?

Yes it will easily fit into the back of a SUV. It is just a bag that will collapse down. You can stack whatever you need to on top of it.

It's the same material as the rear cargo tray. As long your dog doesn't try to chew it, I think it would be fine.

You should not plan on leaving it on the car. The vacuum will eventually dissipate and the rack will come loose. It it also subject to theft.

I don't want to comment about an SUV because I don't have one. I have a '03 Lexus LS430 and I have stored it in the backseat. I have also put it in the trunk.

Yes, it does come apart for storage. I would not use the "carriers" in the car to hold the animal(s) unless someone is watching them.
